It shines a light on the fact that even when we accept others' differences, even celebrate them, sometimes it can be hard to see past the 'labels' to what they really want. But as Rafe finds out, it's just as hard, if not more so, to deny something that's innately a part of you. While I wished for a different ending for Rafe, I was glad to have read this book for the perspective, if nothing else. -Melissa O., employee Price:

KOPE, SPENCERCOLLECTING THE DEADMinotaur Books 2016 1250072875 First Edition, First Printing. HARDCOVER in Brand New jacket. Minotaur Books 6/28/2016. New hardcover. First Edition, First Printing. in Brand New jacket. Store pick: Magnus 'Steps' Craig has a secret skill that only his father, his boss and his partner know. It is a kind of synethesia which allows him to see a unique essence of people in vivid color and texture and has caused him to be dubbed a human bloodhound by the media. Steps uses this skill as part of a special elite 3 person tracking team of the FBI. It consists of Steps, Jimmy Donovan (the real tactical FBI agent) and Diane, who works magic in the office doing internet research much like Garcia does on Criminal Minds. Steps is not your typical FBI agent. His wise cracks and jokes cover up for the fact that he is deeply affected by the victims he doesn’t find in time. He collects pictures of the dead to remind him of his failures. He is particularly haunted by a serial killer from an old case whom he has dubbed Leonardo whose ‘trail’ keeps reappearing as Steps is working on his current case. Highly recommended for fans of Criminal Minds this is a brilliant debut thriller with a troubled but very likeable main character and terrific supporting cast. -Nancy M., store volunteer Price:

KRUEGER, WILLIAM KENTORDINARY GRACEAtria Books 2014 1451645856 PAPERBACK . Atria Books 3/4/2014. New paperback. Store pick: Ordinary Grace is a beautifully written, atmospheric novel that is both a coming-of-age story and an homage to life in a small Midwestern town in the 1960s. It is a quiet, simple story with a huge message and wonderfully developed characters. While there is a murder, the identity of the perpetrator is secondary to how the residents and family members are affected by all the events of the summer of 1961. -Nancy M., store volunteer Edgar Award Winner for Best Novel.
